When you're in Napa on a weekend and need a flexible, high-quality lunch that pleases everyone, Oxbow Public Market is such a safe bet. We stopped by for a quick midday bite on Sunday and loved the sheer range of options. As someone looking for vegetarian choices, the selection was fantastic--everything from artisan sandwiches and warm empanadas to sweet treats like Kara's Cupcakes under one roof. Everyone can grab exactly what they're craving and meet up to eat together. Even with the typical weekend buzz, the atmosphere was fun and vibrant. Having a decently sized parking lot right on-site makes the visit seamless without having to circle surrounding streets. Perfect for quick bites or larger group outings where consensus is hard to find. Always a great stop! read more

Twice I been at Oxbow Public Market. I thought going to Emeryville was the only great Public Market in the Bay Area but Napa has alot better market with more selection of places to eat at. Parking can be limited when coming here on the weekend. Alot of people do love coming here on Sunday. If you tend to eat alot expect to see a long line to use the public restroom. I would come back to Oxbow again in the future. I should bring someone with me when I come back. read more

I have been frequenting Oxbow ever since it opened. Sure vendors come and go but they have some amazing shops...always good food, drinks and cute gifts for friends. Plenty of parking and easy to navigate. read more

We spent the whole day enjoying the bounty of Sonoma and Napa by stopping at our favorite places, and the Oxbow Market was one of them. We stopped here to have lunch pick up some beef jerky, cupcakes, donuts and just shop at this cute market. The atmosphere was really busy and it seemed like everybody had stopped in for lunch at the same time we did. There are many cute shops in this Market with good value and cost and everywhere we stopped we had excellent service! Will be back there's a lot of places we still want to try. read more

It's been a while since my last visit to Napa and Oxbow Public Market, so it was interesting to see how much has changed. Quite a few shops and food spots have closed or opened since then--about a quarter of the places didn't look familiar to me anymore. Luckily, some favorites are still there, including Hog Island, which is always a must-stop for me. I also noticed Sumo Dog this time, which looked pretty intriguing. If I hadn't already eaten, I probably would've grabbed something from both spots. read more

Best place to gather with friends, order different foods and sit together outside by the river. Selection is great and can shop souvenirs too. All food was great and everyone/service was kind. Value is good, on the pricier side but worth it to come together and have a chill time, specially if first time in Napa. read more

Oxbow Public Market is a fun, eclectic spot. There's a great mix of local vendors offering everything from olive oil and books to groceries, specialty foods, and plenty of delicious dining options. With both indoor and outdoor seating, it's an easy place to spend some time browsing and relaxing. Since it was close to our hotel, we stopped in to pick up items for a picnic and shared an incredible sandwich from Loveski's Deli--it was absolutely delicious! The staff throughout the market were friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back on our next visit to Napa. read more

Oxbow public market was the cutest mini market I've been too ! Very comparable to San Pedro market in San Jose. I loved all the little shops and they even had a wine bar ! Decided to get some coffee and empanadas , even a fresh squeezed juice. Prices all around were very fair and the location wasn't too crowded. There's plenty of seating and each individual shop is super fast. My coffee came out delicious and quick ! Overall 10/10 fast and efficient location. read more

I love this place. It has so many fun shops to explore all things foodie, as well as a lot of places to grab a bite to eat. During our recent visit we hit up the coffee shop, gelato place and the bagels. There are donuts, books, spices, and unique groceries too. Plus lots of parking. A must stop when you're in Napa. read more

I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. The place was not crowded. Hog island oyester bar was crowded. Johnny's Donut opened newly. I tried couple of their donuts and the Brazilian Limeade.

Marketplace or food market that has plenty of food options and merchants where you can buy products as well as produce. I feel like this spot along with the Ferry Building in SF ushered in the popularity of this model of this type of market - at least in California. Depending on where you go or eat, service is going to vary, but I've always interacted with wonderful folks here. I've been here a few times now with 3/2026 being my most recent visit. We came here to pick up some items for breakfast in the coming week and walked/looked around for some fun small bites. With 20 plus vendors along with the surrounding businesses and restaurants, this is just a fun place to visit whenever you're in the Napa area. I unfortunately had to watch my alcoholic beverage intake because I was driving, but it would be great to try a few of the many available options of wine offered at the vendors. Parking: there's a pretty large lot and there's a lot of parking long the street in the surrounding area, but parking can still be a bit hectic due to the popularity of this spot. read more

We had a 2:30 PM reservation at Domaine Carneros, so we stopped by Oxbow Public Market to grab a quick bite before our wine tasting. Oxbow has so many great food choices, but we ended up choosing Hog Island Oyster Co and it ended up being the perfect lunch spot! They were packed and service was a touch slow at the bar but the food completely made up for it. We shared fresh oysters, my bf ordered Po'Boy sandwich with pickled veggies, and I ordered the grilled squid salad. I was hesitant about ordering the salad at first, but it completely blew me away! The tender grilled squid and mushrooms in a light dressing were so fresh and delicious! Definitely the ultimate light lunch before wine tasting. Oxbow has a wonderful vibe, outdoor seating, and plenty of food choices. The parking lot is small, but street parking is permitted nearby. Highly recommend checking them out if you're in Napa! read more

A must visit spot for anyone visiting Napa. There's countless shops in this building all serving something different. There was a sushi spot, Jewish deli, El Poeteño which sells empanadas, Hog Island who specializes in oysters. So many places. Many of these places have their own brick and mortar's through the region. Knowing that we won't have to travel so far to try those popular spots is a nice luxury. Parking was scarce. Inside was packed as people pass by without so much as an "excuse me." There's plenty of indoor seating to sit down and enjoy the snacks or dishes you just purchased. Oxbow was a very fun and happening place. It's lively and full of a great mix of cultures. I can't wait to return. Only a stone throws away from Sacramento I believe that to be real soon. read more

A lovely selection of artesian foods, crafts, and of course wines! I would equate this to a food lovers elevated version of a farmers market that is not for the bargain hunter. Dedicated parking lot, can get crowded on weekends. I loved walking through the building and browsing. A nice place to stop if you're looking for a chance to get off your feet and look around a bit. read more

I was really excited to visit this market. And it actually surprised me. I was expecting a bigger type market but it was like an indoor, cozy, high-end food court with additional vendors. I know there's a term coined for this besides 'market' but not sure what it is. Me and my daughter were hungry so b-lined to Sumo Dog. Not necessarily a hot dog person but I am a fan of asian food. We split the Bacon Banh Mi. It was surprisingly my favorite. Also ate at Moroccan Street Food and split a flatbread with grilled chicken. Pretty tasty. Next visited El Porteno empanadas and ordered banana and pollo. One savory and one sweet. Also had to try Kara's Cupcakes - vanilla coconut. I only can imagine that this place can get tight if there were more people but I liked the vibe and all the food options. Everything was delicious. I will definitely come back to taste other food vendors. read more

A tourist attraction worth visiting in Downtown Napa. This market offers a variety of options, including modern American cuisine, Mexican cuisine, pizza, chocolates, cheese, olive oils, wines, baked goods, and a mini farmers' market. Easy to walk around, less crowded, but the food is decent. Not much Asian food here. Dining here can be pricey. Highly recommend trying out fresh oysters at Hog Island. There's outdoor seating available. Service is based on indoor market vendors. The parking lot is small, so I had to park across the street. read more

Decent market with a variety of food stalls and indie food grocery options inside. There's Gotts across the street but other than that Hog Island is there if you want a boujier option. The little green market inside had interesting stuff I was looking at the coffee and no one offered to help me understand what I was looking at and where stuff came from. They don't allow dogs inside and the only outdoor seating seemed to be owned by some restaurant. Overall it was okay, I didn't buy or eat anything . read more

I didn't take very many pictures at the Oxbow market but there are a lot of options inside of the market whether it is coffee or a quick bite or later when they open up the restaurant and bar, there's something for everyone. We ate at Love-ski and had coffee at ritual. At Love-ski we ordered mini latkes and a pastrami bagel sandwich and both are very good. At ritual, we ordered a drip coffee and a pumpkin latte coffee which was also very good. We were there at 9:30 in the morning, so most of the stuff was not open yet, but there were a few shops that were, and we plan on going back to take a look around later in the day. The coffee and the food were decently priced for the area so it's an easy grabbing go place. Service both places was good also. read more

Oxbow Public Market - Spiced pumpkin coffee - Public Markets Near Me - Napa, California

This is a wonderful market area just outside of downtown Napa. They have their own dedicated parking area for while you shop and eat. Restrooms are located outside the main entrance. The market has high ceilings with natural lighting, many diverse restaurants, food stores and groceries, a brewery tap room, plus a quick walk around the island to other small restaurants and shopping areas. They have outdoor and indoor seating as well. I perused all the stores and explored but wasn't really here to purchase a lot. If I was staying nearby, this would easily be a place for multiple stops to try different restaurants. read more

This is a very cute marketplace to visit if you're in Napa or in the neighboring cities! You can probably spend 45 minutes to an hour walking around the market and looking at the local booths. Great spot to get souvenirs for yourself or others too. There's also a good amount of stores near the Oxbow Public Market to roam into. Out of most of the stores, I enjoyed trying out the empanadas and the spice store for fun. read more

Oxbow Public Market - Public Markets Near Me - Napa, California

This market is on the smaller side, but the shops inside make it worth a visit. One of my favorites was The Olive Press, an olive oil and balsamic store. They press their own locally grown olives once a year and offer a huge variety of oils and vinegars. I loved that they had self-serve samples so you can taste before buying. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they sell everything from small bottles to gift sets--even by the ounce, which makes for great souvenirs. Another highlight was the Cheese and Wine Merchant in the corner. They carry all kinds of cheeses, and I tried a triple cream Brie for the first time--rich, creamy, and indulgent since it's 75% butter fat. Perfect with some fresh bread from the market. The market also has practical amenities like restrooms outside the building, a water fountain, and a central dining area with stalls arranged around the perimeter. At the front, there's a small produce market, and we also tried Sumo Dog, a hot dog spot with unique and fun toppings. As expected, prices are higher than what you'd find outside, but the variety and quality make it a nice place to wander, sample, and enjoy a taste of Napa. read more

Review #1,015 Posted on 3.13.26 We came here to grab some items after tasting nearby when in town in Napa on Saturday March 7th. This place is super cool, and has it all. It's almost like a grocery/eating spot mini mall or building, almost like a food court inside a mall. They've got all kinds of places to eat, sit down, takeout, you name it. There's also a few different spots you can get items to pair with your wine tastings, treats, even dry pastas, ingredients to take home and cook. The parking is a bit cramped, especially on weekends because of how busy this place is. Highly recommend stoping in here for a quick bite and/or picking up other items. read more

Came here a couple times -- I only wish it was bigger / had a wider selection of vendors because they've got really good stuff there but it felt more like a mini market to me, but it was cool nonetheless. I usually come to get some trinkets and of course the snacks lol whether it be the fresh variety of fruits, the chocolates, etc. But overall, it's a good market place. Just wish it had more vendors and a bigger parking lot because it's always packed regardless if it's on a weekday or weekend... at least when I went a couple times, I circled around a few times before grabbing a parking spot. Will have to come right when they open to avoid the hassle :') *PS. One of the vendors sold a good selection of empanadas; it was yummy. read more

I love the Oxbow Public Market ~ conveniently located in downtown Napa, I also love the convenience of parking here too. There is a special lot. So really, it's a win/win all around! The Oxbow offers a great array of elevated restaurant vendors ~ a few favorites include Gott's, Model Bakery, and Kara's Cupcakes. There is truly something for everyone here, and even if you're not coming to the Oxbow for yourself, this is equally a great spot to grab a gift. Napa Bookmine for books/cards/knick knacks and the Oxbow Cheese & Wine Merchant are great gifting-driven spots. Other vendors include a pizza spot called Live Fire Pizza, Moroccan street food from Moro, sips from Bar Lucia and Fieldwork, and fun new(er) spots like Sumo Dog and Loveski. I can't wait to come back already and try the signature style hot dogs including the Miso Katsu Dog, Bacon Banh Mi, and even the Loco Moco Dog..how cool! On this trip I grabbed a Matzoh Ball Soup from Loveski (so comforting) and a few cupcakes for dine-in at Kara's Cupcakes (big fans of the Vanilla Coconut). From poki bowls to empanadas, there's so many other unique options. Fun to check out a few spots + split with your crew, friendly staff at each locale, and I would say fair pricing for the area. Special shoutout to Ritual Coffee for the glass of milk for our kiddo :) read more

Unique market with a handful of local vendors inside which sells olive oils, coffee, desserts, and unique ingredient gifts. We were able to walk around and browse the shops, as well as grab a latte to go. read more

Are you hungry but not sure what you are hungry for? Oxbow is probably the place for you. With a good selection of dining and a few shops to check out, this small market should be on your list of places to visit while in Napa. I hit Oxbow up between lunch and dinner for a quick snack. I don't know how busy things get during peak hours, but off hours there were not major waits for a few seats at even their most popular dining bars. They layout is convenient to navigate and they have a parking lot should you be driving. It is only a short walk from the busy park of main street Napa. Check them out! read more

Quality/Quantity - We have been unlucky on our last few visits. We got here too late when most businesses were closed... 21+ businesses; see website for specifics. 40k square feet. Atmosphere - Decent size location. Small parking lot, but now there is a new parking lot/overflow lot, approximately a block away. Open 7 days a week till 9pm. But really, the majority of the businesses are closed before then. Service - N/A. Again, on this trip, most/all businesses were closed. Price - N/A. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2007. We have been regular customers since then. read more

What a fun place to explore in Downtown Napa! Lunchtime is the perfect time to explore everything the market has to offer. They have a variety of food places, drink spots, baked goods, and grocer items for purchase to truly accommodate any craving. The market itself is well organized, very clean, and had a good amount of parking. My husband and I visited to enjoy a small bite to eat between spots. I got a Meatball small plate and he a Sumo Dog. We loved that there were classic offerings as well as unique items we had never seen before. We ended our visit with some cupcakes that were the perfect cherry on top of a small lunch meal. read more

This is a really cute place to come for lunch in Napa. There's a parking lot but it can be quite full, especially on the weekends. But we were able to find a spot with the amount of people coming in and out. There's so many different cuisine options here including Asian, Mexican, Morrocon, Italian, etc. there's also a small area where you can buy some groceries/vegetables/etc that is quite expensive and small. read more

I brought some relatives visiting from out of the country Napa Valley. One of the first places I thought of was to check out the Oxbow Public Market at there is a nice selection of restaurants to eat at, olive oil/vinegar tasting and little shops to check out. It is located right next to Gott's in downtown Napa by the river. The bad thing about coming here is on a Saturday afternoon around 12:30pm is that it is very difficult to find parking in both the public parking lot right next to the Oxbow and across the street! If you are in the area and can find parking, it's worth a visit. read more

If you are in downtown Napa, you need to come here. Get your chocolates from Anettes. I love their Cabernet dark chocolate truffle. Aglio Olio E Pepperoncino from Whole Spice a must!
